"Are you sure you want to do this, Merida?" Hiccup asked as he led his wife through the dungeons.
Merida nodded before glancing at her husband, "For the final time, yes! We're already almost there, what's the point of asking me now?"
Hiccup sighed, "Because I was kind of hoping to change your mind." Merida rolled her eyes as a guard greeted them, taking the torch from Hiccup. "Alright, Jack Frost, my wife is here to speak to you, you'd better answer her questions, or else," growled Hiccup. A pale being moved to the bars, his ice blue eyes penetrating down to their very souls.
A grin spread across his face, "Wonderful to see you, Princess Merida. To what do I owe the pleasure of your company?"
"I want to know what Mavis is planning and how we can stop it."
"My, my, you know that I need something in return."
"What?"
"The name of your child."
Merida's hand went instinctively to her round tummy, "Fine, it's a deal."
"Good, Mavis is making a spell that will transport us all to another world, a world without magic. Part of the spell will erase all of our memories of this world, and might make some of us change our names." Hiccup and Merida glanced at each other with worry.
"So how do we stop it?"
Jack shrugged, "You can't stop it, but … there is a way to reverse it."
"How?"
Jack pointed at the round belly, "That child is our only hope. You must send her away to Earth to spare her from the spell, she will return to us on her twenty-sixth birthday. That is when Mavis' spell shall begin to weaken, it won't be long after that that the spell will be broken."
Merida breathed, "Thank you." She turned around to walk away, there was hope after all, even if it meant not being able to watch her little one grow up.
"Wait, we had a deal! You promised to give me the name of your child!"
Merida turned back around with a little smile on her face, "Mary Katherine."
